Gallois Eliminated on the Now-Burst Bubble

Geoff Paul

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Hadrien Gallois, in the small blind, had his all-in bet called preflop by Daisuke Ogita, the cutoff. The cards were turned over, and Gallois was at risk on the stone bubble.

Hadrien Gallois: Q?Q?
Daisuke Ogita: A?K?

Gallois remained ahead on the J?3?2? flop, but Ogita paired his ace when the A? hit the turn. Gallois needed help, but none arrived on the 3?.

All was not lost for Hadrien, however, as a player on another table was also eliminated on the same hand.

Renan Bruschi spoke to PokerNews about that hand. Bruschi led out for 25,000 from early position on the 2?6?Q? flop. His opponent made it 70,000 from middle position, and the player behind called from late position. Bruschi jammed all in, and both players called, with the player in late position having both of his opponents covered.

Middle Position: QxJx
Renan Bruschi: 2?2?
Late Position: X?X?

The board ran out 10?5?, giving Bruschi the win and eliminating the player in middle position. That player will split the minimum cash of $1,246 with Gallois, which all remaining players are now entitled to.
